Executive Opinion: Sidense Ending the Year on a High Note

Xerxes Wania, President and CEO, Sidense

At Sidense, we are seeing a continuation of the semiconductor market driving rapidly advancing technology development, particularly for products targeting the mobile, computing and consumer markets and for the growing "Internet of Things." The industry continues to keep up with Moore's Law with smaller and smaller geometries, and as we hit 20nm and beyond basic transistor structures are changing from planar devices into more complex FinFET structures.

IoT is Poised to be the Next Big Semiconductor Driver

By Jim Lipman, Director of Marketing, Sidense

There is a movement on the horizon that will potentially provide a massive opportunity for the semiconductor industry. The Internet of Things - IoT - is poised to open the door for IP vendors, silicon foundries and software designers to develop products for literally tens of billions of connected devices over the next few years. In a recent paper, the Internet Business Solutions Group (IBSG) at Cisco predicts that there will be 25 billion devices connected to the Internet by 2015 and 50 billion by 2020. While long-range forecasts vary widely, it is generally believed that IoT will drive unprecedented volumes and demand for the electronics industry.
